This is a really great question but it depends on what the trailer will carry. For most applications you'd want the front axle of the tandem axle trailer to be the brake axle but if it's a boat trailer (particularly with an outboard motor) you'd want it to be the rear axle. Basically it comes down to which axle would be carry more of the trailer's weight.
